Fjalar Kuningas by Johan Ludvig Runeberg
"Fjalar Kuningas" by Johan Ludvig Runeberg is an epic poem published in Swedish in 1844. King Fjalar vows to abandon warfare, but a seer's prophecy threatens his family with a curse of incest. To prevent this fate, Fjalar casts his infant daughter into the sea. Years later, his son Hjalmar embarks on a journey across the waters, unaware of the tragic destiny awaiting him. Drawing on Oedipus and romantic sagas, this Nordic
tale explores honor, fate, and unavoidable doom. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
